PORT CHARLOTTE - A Charlotte County man was arrested on drug charges Tuesday after deputies said he was found with a small bag of cocaine in his prosthetic leg. One woman who was traveling with him was also arrested after authorities said she had morphine and Hydromorphone pills hidden in her bra and a second woman was reportedly found with a hypodermic needle hidden in her buttocks.

According to a Charlotte County Sheriff's Office news release, a deputy stopped a car at Bradford Avenue and Cazonovia Street for not having brake lights. The car was driven by Alexis Ann Clancey, 20, of Englewood, and carried Bradley Jordon Greus, 23, and Donald Carlo Acquarelli, 25, of Port Charlotte, and Teal Lee Thomson, 22, of Rotonda.

Deputies searched the vehicle and asked Greus if he had anything hidden in his prosthetic leg. Greus said he had a small bag of cocaine in it and handed it to a deputy, the Sheriff's Office said.

Deputies found a plastic baggie with pills in Thomson's bra, the news release said. Clancey said she had a Hydromorphine pill in her wallet left on the driver's seat. While searching Acquarelli, Clancey jumped in the car, grabbed her wallet, quickly pulled out a pill and swallowed it. Deputies attempted to stop her from swallowing but were unsuccessful, the Sheriff's Office reported.

Authorities said they found five hypodermic needles with a liquid that tested positive for opiates. Clancey also reportedly told deputies she had another hypodermic needle hidden in her buttocks.

The four were arrested and taken to the Charlotte County jail. Greus and Acquarelli were both charged with possession of cocaine and possession of drug paraphernalia, the Sheriff's Office said. Thompson was charged with possession of morphine, possession of hydromorphone and possession of drug paraphernalia. Clancey was charged with possession of opiates, possession of drug paraphernalia and resisting an officer. Acquarelli, Thomson and Clancey all posted bail and were released; Greus remained in jail Thursday on $6,500 bail, the Sheriff's Office release said.
